My every day utility watch is Solar powered with battery back up.
Charger works even under candle light. If and when power is getting

Casio G-shock I heard. May be today's kids will have hard time to read
time on analog watch.

Things have changed so much just since I got married let alone since I
was a child. The sky's the limit for what might be a possibility in the
future, I think.


Years ago, the original Star Trek had the communicators,
flip em open and talk at the device.

Now I carry a flip cell phone, and I can flip it open,
and talk at the device. Internal speaker is loud enough
that I can hear the other person. I keep wanting to say
"Scotty; two to engage"

With the improving technology, people become reliant,
and don't know what to do when things break down.
I worry that some day the people who run the country
will turn off internet, and we'll all stand around and
whine and cry.

I'd miss the internet mostly because I'd miss interacting with nice
people all over the world. After lamenting the people I missed, I'd be
in the back yard doing stuff, or otherwise finding things to keep me
busy.

I wouldn't miss the hackers, crackers, nutcases, pedophiles, or other
online criminals who feel it's their goal in life to steal from and/or
harass others.
